While this specific issue can be argued one way or another, I think it is very important to remember something about Congress' actions in the Schiavo case and the legal process soon to follow in Federal courts: I could make a more compelling case for Federal involvement in the Schiavo situation than for the U.S. Supreme Court's involvement in Bush v. Gore

I find it odd that none of the Freepers out there who are such high-minded "strict constructionists" in this case were using similar constitutional arguments to support the Florida Supreme Court's decisions (in favor of Al Gore) in the 2000 presidential election.

Oh, I'm sure they were. There exists a hard core group of Bush haters here who have been attacking GWB long before 2000. They'll say or do anything to tear the man down.

Not sure why. The 14th Amendment seems to apply to both cases.
